Hi Jerry,
You can use psql directly and communicate with it using a pipe
stream. On Windows I believe this is equivalent to calling
CreateProcess and CreatePipe which results in a bidirectional stream.
This is how pgEdit makes use of psql for the editor.
I'm not familiar with Tcl or Python, but hopefully they have
facilities to do this.
BTW, the psql binary is part of the Windows PostgreSQL installer.

I would like to install a "psql" command line program on
my winxp box. ( something that acts like psql on a unix box.)
I hope to embed such a program in my Tcl/Tk and Python
PostgreSQL browsers so I can more offer more functionality
in the browsers...
My development environment on XP is restricted to
scripting languages ( tcl and python ).
Any candidates/suggestions?
